Network

If some machine needs a static IP address, send an email with the ethernet-address (MAC address), proposal for the machine name, room number (to determine the subnet/Vlan) and a contact person or owner of the machine to Postmaster.

The UCI is responsible for the connection, through SURFnet, with the rest of the Internet.

Here is an animated moviewhich gives you an impression how internet traffic is being handled and the kind of devices network packets have to travel through. The size of the animation is about 150 Mb.

To connect your network devices to the wall outlet we strongly advise you use utp-cables of the brand Systimax Cat6. These cables are available in the RU Stockroom and can be ordered via Finlog (search for "Systimax").
